Exclusive Day Tour: A Day in Vitoria-Gasteiz
Europe's Green Capital — the Basque Country's Best-Kept Secret
Vitoria-Gasteiz is the capital of the Basque Country — and one of the most overlooked cities in Spain. It has an intact medieval old town, a championship pintxos scene, and a continuous green belt that wraps the entire city. The European Commission made it European Green Capital in 2012.
A City Built Around Nature
The Anillo Verde — 33 km of connected green space surrounding the city — is one of Europe’s finest examples of sustainable urban planning. We arrive by electric van.
Tour Highlights
Anillo Verde — Green Ring
33 km of connected urban green belt: wetlands, forests, and meadows at the edge of the city centre.
Medieval Old Town
Gothic quarter with intact medieval walls, cathedrals, and Renaissance palaces — virtually unchanged since the Middle Ages.
Salburua Wetlands
Internationally important birdlife and biodiversity within the city limits — a model for urban ecology.
Hidden Pintxos Scene
Vitoria-Gasteiz has won Spain's national pintxos championship multiple times. Almost nobody knows this.
Basque Identity & Culture
The political and cultural capital of the Basque Country, with a deep sense of Basque identity.
